check if an item can exist as a dropped item

[oak kindle]

Using "all items" not all items from there may exist as a dropped item

[runic chasm]

what?

wdym "can exist as a dropped item"?

if you press q, any item can be dropped

[winged elm]

!drop all items at me
!set {Dropped::*} to all dropped items

[oak kindle]

For example, a bamboo sprout can get out of "all items", which is not able to exist as a dropped item

[winged elm]

he's talking about items that have placed variants example "Wall banners" only standing banners can be held

[runic chasm]

aah okay

[runic chasm]

i was assuming it was already an item in an inventory, thought they wanted to know which could then go onto the ground

This code doesn't work, the item dies immediately.
Could something be wrong?

on drop:
    wait 1 tick
    while event-dropped item is alive: 
        set {_j} to random element of all dropped items
        set event-dropped item to {_j}
        wait 5 tick

[runic chasm]

are items alive?

try while exists

[oak kindle]

Same thing, doesn't work

[winged elm]

Huh

no

drop all the items and add them to a variable

so you can save the items

no

what the flipp

[oak kindle]

on drop:
    wait 1 tick
    while event-dropped item exists: 
        set {_j::*} to all dropped items
        set event-dropped item to random element of {_j::*}
        wait 5 tick

[runic chasm]

no

thats gonna set {_j::*} to all dropped items that are currently loaded in your world

(actual entities that are already on the ground at that instant)

[runic chasm]

you're gonna have to define this list before hand (globally), and then access it

[winged elm]

command /d:
  trigger:
    drop all items at player
    set slot (integers between 0 and 40) of player's inventory to 64 stone
    set {Items::*} to all dropped items in radius 5 around player
    wait 1 second
    kill all dropped items in radius 5 around player

[oak kindle]

So there is no plugin-prepared list of all possible items to drop?

[oak kindle]

wow

You really are brilliant

thanks!
